The One About The Game Boy
I got an original Game Boy for Christmas in 1990, with a copy of Tetris, Super Mario Land, and DuckTales, if I remember correctly. It was a total game changer, and the mountains of time I put into that little console over the next 4 or 5 years was amazing. It completely changed the way I thought about video games, made me into a life-long gamer, and dropped my middle school GPA by at least a full grade. So many incredible games, but some standouts were Super Mario Land 2, Darkwing Duck, the first Final Fantasy, and Kirby
I will never forget that morning, and wish I still had the system, which was lost between many military moves and 2 kids of my own. Luckily I can emulate all of them on basically any handheld device I own now, but there was something truly special about the genuine article. —Segador
